Speculative investors trimmed their bullish exposure to the euro, according to the latest Commitments of Traders data released on 20 February 2026. CFTC figures show EUR speculative net positions in the Euro Zone have slipped to 174.5K from a previous level of 180.3K.
The modest reduction suggests that while sentiment toward the single currency remains broadly positive, some market participants are locking in gains or reassessing risk after an extended buildup in net-long positions. The euro still holds a sizeable net-long stance, indicating that, overall, speculative traders continue to favor the currency despite the recent pullback.
